I'm near you in Boulder area and I am seeing the same thing, huge drop in interest on houses in the market, last year places would get under contract within a week, now its houses sitting on the market for weeks and even months. I talked to our realtor(we are planning on moving again for a work related job) and she said average days on the market has doubled from last year in the Boulder metro area.

I'm in Boulder, too, and you can't ignore the "housing stock" problem here. There are a lot of crap houses in boulder that really need to be demolished. A late 90s house on my street sold in 1 day over asking, while an '87 house with a mid aughts renovation has been sitting fort 6 months. They were priced very differently relative to quality. I think what's happening here is not that the market has cooled overall, but is reflecting the vast annoyance that is boulder's building department, mixed with bad housing stock.
